Frederick,
Let me summarise in short the method to make sambar: Boil vegetables along with salt, turmeric and tamarind paste, when cooked, add sambar powder + Cooked Dal(cook tur dal in pressure cooker with double the water as dal, with the help of a ladle/spoon, mash it to make a homogenous mix), adjust salt and tang(tamarind) to taste and let it boil on medium flame for about 10-15 mins or until everything comes together. Season with mustard + Hing(asafoetida)+curry leaves +coriander leaves. Hope this helps, and enjoy ur sambar!

Hi,

I think I now know how to make sambar (thanks Sneha!). But I’m not at all sure how to use sambar powder. Do I use it like curry powder? A bit of help would be greatly appreciated.

hi sneha
i am from karnataka and we add a very small bit of hing to the ingredients and a bit of jaggery to the sambhar. It balances the other ingredients and tastes great
